How to specify which Eth-x maps to to which nic.
I have a couple of hosts that has more the one nic (some has up to 5).
On some motherboards the nics in PCI slot 1 to 4 are eth0 .. eth4 on others it's
the other way around.

If different nics from intel and 3com are mixed, I have seen that the order of eth it not very obvious.

Is there a way too specify that eth0 must be the nic in PCI slot 1 and eth1 is the nic in PCI slot 2 etc.

If I want to know which pci-slot Is mapped to my eth1, how do I lookup this info (besides using ping
and looking for the traffic on the nic leds).


Thanks in advance
Bo Jacobsen
